“All our furniture, apart from the upholstery side, is new or clearance now and all from major brands. We still keep all our stock at discounted prices, and as the shop is so much bigger we've got so much more to choose from.”

Like Setam, ExCatalogue Supplies started from a 10ft market stall. Miss Metcalfe and Mr Hessey then got the current shop in 1988 and developed from there. It sells stock from major brands such as Next, Laura Ashley and Argos.

Miss Metcalfe believes moving to the other end of Hessle Road could prove a shrewd move.

She said: “We thought this was the quieter end of Hessle Road now but it’s been a pleasant surprise as it is a really busy area.

“We are next to busy shops such as Boyes, Stack it High and Home Bargains and the Boulevard area is popular. There is quite a lot of regeneration going on at this end and it has got a really nice feel to it.

"This end of Hessle Road is open on Sundays too so we are looking to open Sundays in the near future.”
